When travelling alone, it's common sense to make sure you're aware of how and where to get help if you need it, and arm yourself with knowledge about the local area. And for women, sadly, there are often further elements of safety to consider – but as most female travellers will agree, we cannot let it stop us living and enjoying life.
This is especially important in countries that don't commonly speak your language. “It’s a good idea, particularly in countries that don’t use the English alphabet, to have your hotel or destination written down in the native language so a non-English speaker or reader can help you,” says Helen.This could make you a potential target for criminals.Is there a dress code? “You don't want to stand out and appear naïve,” says Helen.
Donna recommends: “Carry a small first aid kit that will fit comfortably in your bag while you’re exploring and a water purifier so you can always keep hydrated. Have a whistle that's light, easy to carry and loud in case you need to raise attention – and add a VPN on your devices so you can get onto the internet and call for help if needed.”
“Find a safe place for your passport and information,” adds Helen. “Keep a photocopy of your passport and travel insurance in a separate place, ideally with a small amount of emergency cash. Use lockers where available.”
